For a given polynomial $P(x)$ we describe a method that allows us to construct a polynomial $R(x)$ that has the same roots as $P(x)$, but all multiplicities of 1. Set $Q(x)=(P(x),P^{\prime }(x))$ and $R(x)=P(x)Q^{-1}(x)$. Prove that

a) all the roots of the polynomial $P(x)$ are the roots of $R(x)$;

b) the polynomial $R(x)$ has no multiple roots.

Construct the polynomial $R(x)$ from the problem 61019 if:

a) $P(x)=x^6-6x^4-4x^3+9x^2+12x+4$;

b)$P(x)=x^5+x^4-2x^3-2x^2+x+1$.

For which $A$ and $B$ does the polynomial $A{x}^{n+1}+B{x}^n+1$ have the number $x=1$ at least two times as its root?
